The Coordination Group
Tamaulipas (GCT) reported that the coordinated action, which ended the yesterday,
when authorities arrested two of the kidnappers and killed the ringleader,
identified as Edgar Ariel Gallegos Gallegos, 45, residing in Ciudad Victoria.
The accomplices
arrested were Juan Gabriel Idrogo Perez, 19, and Rucina Guadalupe Cruz Gomez,
27, who remain under investigation. It
is presumed they participated in other kidnappings in various parts of the
Victoria-Zaragoza-Tampico highway.
The Tamaulipas state
government said the three Mexican Americans from Dallas, two women and a man,
were freed Monday from a criminal group’s camp along a highway near Ciudad
Victoria.
The trio told Mexican
authorities that they left McAllen on April 13 to attend a funeral in Ciudad
Valles, when they were ambushed by gunpoint.
The kidnappers demanded a ransom for their release.
When the kidnappers
camp in Lazaro Cardenas ijido, in Zaragosa near Victoria was discovered, a shootout commenced which
resulted in the killing of the ring leader.
Why, some kidnappers just see somebody that looks like probably they come from the US and they go kidnapping them for their money...
ReplyDeleteGood job!
--This will keep foreigners from helping mexican government make money from tourists.
WTF are you saying! If I could understand your point I would comment. What you said is just plain confusing.
DeleteThat's stupid, I go to tamaulipas Mexico more then a few times a year I speak English in public and ride in expensive cars and I've never been kidnapped, most likely these people were doing something they weren't supposed to be doing to get kidnapped, contrary to popular belief the cartels usually don't mess with civilians that aren't connected to a cartel.the ones who kidnap for ransom are the cops.
DeleteOr your number just has not come up yet!
Delete1:11 some people will die trying, hey that they "prerrogative"
Delete11:47 never mind, keep walking, nothing to see...
DeleteYes 9.48, you are a troll, many like you, that is what your comments are all about, hate, money transactions, scaring tourism, what will you say about Ohio murders? shall the world stay out of here because of that?
DeleteHe or she is fucking lying, who the fuck do you speak English to over there? Everyone is connected some way or somehow to the mob overthere $50 American dollars is what it cost to get your ass snatched shut the fuck up tamps don't play with faggots like you.
Delete12:40 What is stupid is the fact you believe cartels do not mess with civilians and the kidnappers are only cops. You must be one of the idiots keeping cartels in business by using their product with thoughts like that. This statement was not confusing at all 11:47 you are another product of use obviously. I understood the comment being made. Everyone wants to protect Mexico by blaming this group or that group. It is apparent there are way too many groups to consider. The only thing these tourists did wrong was take a trip to that dumpster of a country in the first place.
Delete12:40 - agree. I too am in Mexico two or three times a month driving my 2015 or 2016 model truck or SUV and drive to Monterrey, Potosi, Leon, DF, Celaya, Durango, Mazatlan, Culiacan, etc and never had problem in the 20+ years I've been selling to Mexican companies - except the occasional policia trying to get 200-300 pesos for my supposedly speeding (especially in Monterrey). I tend to think there's more to story too...., I think it was settling of scores in some manner. In Durango, Sinaloa, Nayarit, and other strong controlled plazas I feel most safe as a white blond gringo b/c they don't want heat or US messing with them. That's why I make sure my windows aren't very tinted....I've got nothing to hide and am a non-participant just passing thru on biz!
DeleteYea right buddy . Your safe . All that stuff you hear about is just made up . IT DONT HAPPEN UNTIL IT HAPPENS .
DeleteIn my personal experience, I got deported, with my nice american shirt pants and boots on me, and 100.00 dollars in my pocket, nothing else, when a mature lady started talking to me and then told her daughters:
Delete--ya ven muchachas? "EL VIENE DEL NORTE"...
--Mexican kidnappers are trained police, and milotary, they know where to catch you and they know how to twist your manita de cochino to make you get into the Carne asada grill all by yourself, they are "trained", dammit!
--It is the old stick'em up, you think it is the police, until they tell you no, no, no...stick'em up, las patas!
Yes 12.40 and 7.04, but remmember you are posting with ignorant guys who probably have never been out of the US, when you travel the world you stop beleiving in the BS the news supply in large doses to control the people and keep them scared. Read the crime news in the US, people in death row for raping, dismembering, random killing, you will get scared, but even so I travel in the US as in Mexico feeling safe on both sides.
Delete10:17 if you can't see the difference, you may need coke bottle bottom glasses...
Delete--On the US the police may kill the innocent once in a while.
--In mexico it is all the time, police or former police or military turned sicarios doing the crimes...
10:17; nice to see some rational and enlightened comments. So many posts sound like Trump...pretty scary at how uninformed the average person is. Good point!
Delete10:17 "the news in the US", the richest, the pulitzer winners, MainStream Media aka MSM, do not like too much "yellow journalism" like murder, extortions, drug trafficking, especially that crime politicians specialize in, corrupt public officers, and businessmen, but MSM loves getting paid to supress news and sweep them under the carpet...
DeleteLet's remember here how MSM drove the San Jose Mercury to retract prizewinning reports of a GARY WEBB and drove him to suicide by taking his job, his credibility, his merits he earned, all on his own, with his "Incredible Conspiracy Theories that proved to be true and led to indictments and investigations and congressional sessions and inquiries" and bla bla bla that ended in presidential pardons for all involved...and apologies to GARY WEBB from the sharks that bit his small fish ass...
Fuck going to Mexico if you don't have to. For those of you who have to because of business related reasons or family good for you. Have at it. For me and mine its a big NO. If I can afford to go to Mexico then I can afford to go to Costa Rica instead. I have been to Mexico several times and the last time being around 2004. The first time was when I went to Juarez at 15 in 1988 and the next time was when I went to Matamoras a couple of years after Mark Kilroy was abducted and killed there. Back then I was young, dumb and full of .....well you know the rest. The dangers weren't as apparent because the old school mafiosos kept the civilians as safe as possible. Bottom line it is just not worth the risk these days for my family.

ReplyDeletePor pendejos! It's in RED CAPITAL LETTERS!! STAY AWAY FROM MEXICO! Should of let them get tortured!!
ReplyDeleteCall ate pendejete aver si torture a tu familia.
DeleteWhats most shocking in this report, is that Mexico has there own Anti Kidnapping Team and they only saved 3 Americans out of the millions kidnapped, Americans again not Mexicans!
ReplyDeleteMexican anti-kidnapping specialists, also have teams of negotiators, what they do is they kidnap the victims and then they handle the "rescue", and keep the money, paying ransom should be criminalized ASAP.
Delete1:32pm - do you, or perhaps did you huff a lot of glue in your past?
DeleteMillions? MILLIONS? Hyperbole much?
DeleteKelly May, imagine if you kidnapp 300 million americans at 1 dollar each per day, and they don't even know they are being held hostage...well that is what your american politicians do, only they get more than one dollar per person every minute...
DeleteThat's why I drive a 99 Dodge Ram when traveling to Mexico. A bmw 535i or Porsche Cayenne is like a bullseye target.
ReplyDeleteMy parents are going to mexico due to a family death. Is huetamo michoacan a safe place to travel to? Its been over 15 years since we have been there.what is the best recommendation for a safe travel please answer and no bullshit plz not a joke.

DeleteI forgot to say unfortunately (violence) we are from h town so what border crossing is best to travel?
Delete6:44 Take a plane, you don't want to have your parents fighting to the death for a one zeta position in a zeta Estaca anywhere in trampalipas...
DeleteMichoacan is unsettled, I would not drive there, take a plane bus or other mode. I have lived in Mx for past ten years, and drive all the time. But you have to know what is going on and where.
Delete"...out of the millions kidnapped..." It seems 1:32 PM that you are prone to a bit of hyperbole. Do you really believe "millions" are kidnapped?
ReplyDeleteHey just read BB all you read about is Kidnappings n Killings..n just think about the ones that they don't report.
DeleteHey, we don't hear about buggs for a long time, maybe dd or chivis or lucío or "english seta" Otis, or all of them are debating how much to ask for the ransom...
DeleteChiricuras moved out, Wero Jessi capturado, Toro is taking control.
ReplyDeleteToro is the big bad wolf of the cdg anytime you hear toro you can put some respek on it..tru dat whodie..new orleans..9thward
DeleteYou mean disrespect on him.I will agree to that.
DeleteIts a joke Canadiana. One of our American Rap Moguls said that to a radio show host in NY. "Respek my name". And yes he said "respek" over the radio.
DeleteSorry fool but things Have changed in Tamaulipas! Keep rolling the dice and you will see. Especially the part about driving a nice car. If your Lucky that's all they will take. Things are changing fast. Don't believe but I am just saying....T.M.
ReplyDeleteA lot of common criminals commit crimes like extortion , kidnapping , murders , robberies but are not actually part of a drug cartel like CDG or the Zetas . Of course , some criminals do pay " upstairs " for the privilege of working in a criminal organization's territory . Sometimes if they are working independently they are picked up by law enforcement and handed over to the CO for disposal .
ReplyDeleteAfter their military career is over, they work as polesias, but most polesias graduate into common criminal band HEADS, because they have been to school, they are in great demand, a d come to cartel bosses with their Commanders Best recommendations, guzman decena, el lazca and his team, and el Bravo del chapo are fine examples...
DeleteOther soldiers just fade away into the secretary of defense, to practice "soy bean cultivation" like General Cienpedos, the North Koreans improved it by planting the carcasses of their worker slaves in their fields,
10:40 Polesias, are "policias" chafas that serve their employer, the government, with crime or silence, that are not aware of any wrongdoing by the compañeros...
DeleteYou know, mister, Comandanta Nestora, has just been released from prison after she arrested the "polesias" in her rancho about 2 years ago for corruption?
--There are police officers that are not happy with their corporation shenanigans, but they know better than to make waves, ask daddy why...
--after the people kicks ass, many formerly silent police officers come up with their denunciations or confessions in the name of reconciliation and impunity...
Same with many many many soldiers...
--sure, not all of the american soldiers killed innocent Iraqis deliberately, but the great majority of Iraqis killed were innocent and had nothing to do with 9/11, and they got killed by US forces, others were tortured by US, said president obamanos, I do not agree with that flimsy statement, private contractors tortured mostly innocents, murdered a few, but it was all "legal", approved by US congress, LAWS WERE EVEN CREATED LEGALIZING THEIR ACTIONS...
--I don't know if the Iraqis approved the torture by private contractor laws or agreements...
--by the way, Architects and Engineers for truth 9/11 want some questions answered, they are not iraqui...
Pieces of shit. Glad the ring leader got killed. Any word if this was Zetas or CDN?
ReplyDelete12:41 many times, well, it is all the time, to make sure, the dead do not talk, so, by killing the ring leader, you do not get named like la barbie did, name a the corrupt mexican politicians and military and politicians he personally knew and had in his cell phones etc etc etc etc...and paid millions of dollars to.
DeleteNot be a jerk.but if you go to mexico at your own risk....for instance I told my dear mother, look Jane if you get kidnapped in mexico, 1 you are on your own, 2 most likely they would rape you, 3 you are super broke, she said fuck it Acapulco here I come...
ReplyDelete1:44 Maan, that is facked up, CHITA, but I guess Tarzan too old, Jane is just doing what Jane thinks is best for Jane, find herself a mexican narco guerrilla to swing from the vines in the mexican jungles...but It won't be me...
DeleteAtentamente: El Commandante Marcus
I currently live in Mexico in Ajijic (Chapala lake), we - foreigners - from all over the world laugh at the dumb "gringos" who are scared, we live peacefully in paradise, we analize the situation in the US and are scared of it, walling the way OUT (Berlin's wall had similar reasoning, to keep the bad influence out), proposing to ban Muslims, similar to Hitler's germany, with police violence and thousends of people killed by drugs, here we go to the organic market, walk at night and say hi to everyone and most people - like every where else in the world - is good and polite. We understand there is crime in Mexico, just like in the US, but we have lived in both countries and we selected Mexico. Have you ever lived aboard?
Delete10:10 hey, good for you, I pass, I hope that is not a problem.
DeleteYes and I agree with you but 30 years ago before Mexico had a drug problem there were more safer places than now to travel all over Mexico.
Delete@ Anomymous. Just because YOU "live in paradise", does not negate the fact that there is a serious crime problem in Mexico (as there is in the U.S.). And much of the crime problem involves innocent people who were brutally and savagely murdered by the cartels. You've selected Mexico...great. What do you want? A gold medal? And to answer your condescending question: yes, I have lived abroad - in several different countries. Just because Mexico is the place for you, doesn't invalidated the opinions of people who DON'T feel safe visiting Mexico.
Delete12:13 I don't feel safe just thinking about mexico, and I feel even less secure thinking about going to mexico...
DeleteSee: "niño llorando porque lo van a hacer priista" youtube
@ 10:10 a.m. Ajijic is a fake gringo dominated little village, sitting on a polluted lake. Don't generalize from that. That'd be like someone talking about crime in the US based on their experiences in Aspen CO.
DeleteDrop 10:10 in the Tepito neighborhood in Mexico City and let's see if you change your mind about SAFETY in Mexico.
DeleteI'm surprised they are still alive lol..
ReplyDeleteI wonder how they were treated
They were kept alive and treated well enough, they did not participate in the rehearsals with televisa cameras and shit, like the expert kidnappers Genaro Garcia Luna, Luis cardenas palomino, cousin of comisionado alfredo castillo de cagada(see "El Expediente Secreto de luis cardenas palomino") and all the rest...the rescues come just in time to pad emperor wannabe miguel angel osorio chong's record with "good deeds"...
Delete--no way josé...
Lots of talk about "you go to Mexico at your own risk" but the overall crime rate in a lot of areas is lower than "nice parts" of the US, particularly major US cities and much of the southwest.
ReplyDeleteEither side of the US-Mexico border pretty much sucks for the first 100km, give or take, with some exceptions. I think El Paso is relatively nice, can't think of another exception. Some people like San Diego
6:27 the US does not have 60 000 known murdered and about 10 000 reported disappeared, plus the not accounted for, and most of them victims of government sicarios, police and military...and all of it covered up by the federal government that does not understand why the mexican people are having a bad time with "good humor..."
Delete6:27 these numbers are under peña nieto in the first three years of his "presidency"
Delete6:27 take the top 5 cities with the highest murder rate in the US and compare it to the top 5 in Mexico and you tell me why on earth someone would have safety concerns in Mexico. The only other countries that have it worse in the western hemisphere is Brazil and Venezuela.
DeleteBrazil and Venezuela are at war against global pivatizers, knocking on their borders...
Delete--Mexico is at war against its citizens, by one of the last five presidential election stealers, EPN the one everybody around the world despises since day one...
Its well known that the carreterra from Brownsville to Tampico its a dangerous road.
ReplyDelete@8:36; well "known" or erroneously concluded by the illegal under informed??? Dangerous if you're a criminal and sometimes immigrants from Central America; but my father (and thousands others every day) drive la carretera with no problem.
Delete@6:27pm - excellent point....but I do think the beer drinking goat makes Ojinaga pretty special
ReplyDeleteCarretero you would like the most expensive coffee in the world,
DeleteBlack Ivory, enjoy...
O isn't that the coffee that is extracted from the poop of some animal [believe it or not]?I fotget which animal and which country.
DeleteI don't know what a "man of the world" would be doing in Ojinaga prospecting for a million dollar deal...
ReplyDeleteIt never made cartel capital, but sure, millions of dollars got made there before until Guillermo Gonzalez Calderoni joined with the US to kill Pablo Acosta, "better people" wanted his business, sera que todavia hay dinero por ahi?
Maybe everybody does not get kidnapped there but Ciudad Victoria is dangerous, especially at night. Daytime maybe not so much, but at night you see some scary people and you try not to get their attention. Not all the people who are kidnapped are involved with the carteles or narco business. Some are just tourists or innocent people who were targeted for whatever reason. The kidnappers are not always cartel members as there are several local kidnapping rings operating in that area. Ciudad Valle is also risky at night. The zetas in that area were stopping whole busloads of people and kidnapping or abducting people as well as raping and/or murdering people as well. It's really not known how many they killed during that time. Have been there many times, even at night, but it has gotten worse and I no longer cruise through that area at night.
